New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark, has argued in favour of preserving its staunch anit-nuclear weapons policy- in which no nuclear weapons are to enter its territory, including its maritime borders. She said it was an issue of being consistent on its moral stance against nuclear weapons. This issue is said to continue to annoy a number of nuclear countries whose ships are armed with nuclear weapons- in particular New Zealand's close friends: France and the United States.

What do you think of the policy?

I like it, Helen Clark is right, they should preserve it
I don't like it, they should respect their nuclear friends- the US and France more

COMMENTS:
It was a moral policy, and especially appropriate while France was active in its Pacific Nuclear Testing.

What on earth would New Zealand gain by allowing France and the U.S. to bring nukes into its territory?

I took part in the marches against Nuclear Power in Auckland during the early 1980's, even though an Australian, not a Kiwi. I wish our Government had the balls and the moral fortitude to do the same, New Zealand suffered some setbacks for their actions, especially to do with trade from the US, and was expelled from ANZUS, a move initiated by the US, not unexpected by NZ but they went ahead with policies they believed then, and now, to be right and refuse to be brow beaten by the world's jackbooted bully boys. Onya NZ

They have every right to do so and it's a harmless fetish they have. A little silly and based mostly on superstition, but harmless.

The US navy can dock (and spend millions) elsewhere.

Now, if it were a time of war and they refused to allow in a damaged ship because they're scared of the black magic going on in it's reactors and that caused a loss of american life, that'd be a different story.

If I were to pick anywhere on earth to live other than the UK, I would pick New Zealand a truly beautiful country.

No nukes is a bonus.
